The JR Pass itself is fine, and reserving seats at the gate is convenient.
However, remember that if you reserve seats online in advance after booking your ticket, you must pick them up no later than 9 PM the night before your trip!
Because I was taking an overnight bus from Osaka the day before, I couldn't reserve seats in advance. As a result, when I tried to pick up my ticket and reserve seats on the day of travel, my desired train was already full (and it happened to be Sunday).
Also, the vendors listed on the Tohoku Pass need to be updated. Today, I found that "Honke Oyster Senbei" has changed its name and is now operating under a different name; even Google Maps says it's permanently closed.
I checked the official Tohoku Pass website and found out that it has been replaced with a Zuiganji Temple admission ticket and includes a folder. I hope everyone who wants to buy one will check the official pass website first, and not just rely on what's provided on KKday. KKday, please update this information.
Furthermore, I don't understand why "Oyster Fried Rice Pavilion" and "Honke Oyster Rice Crackers" require links to the Matsushima Imperial Villa's official website, as I couldn't find the information I needed.
Great deal and very easy to pick up! The redemption process at the station was smooth and hassle-free. It saved us a lot of time getting from Narita Airport to Ueno. Highly recommend this for anyone traveling to Tokyo
I recently took a trip to Tokyo with my parents, and thanks to the luggage delivery service, it was a truly comfortable and satisfying trip!
On the last day of our trip, I used the service to drop off my suitcases while checking out of the hotel and pick them up at the airport. From the moment I dropped them off until I retrieved them, everything was incredibly smooth and convenient.
What I liked most was being able to fully enjoy the trip right up until the very last day.
Usually, on the last day of a trip, I would feel like the journey was practically over because I was busy packing and getting ready for the airport rather than sightseeing. However, this time, I was able to leisurely explore downtown Tokyo and even enjoy some shopping without having to worry about heavy suitcases. Thanks to this, I was able to wrap up the trip productively without feeling tired right up until the last day.
My parents, who traveled with me, were also amazed, saying, "The world has really gotten better," and asking if such a convenient service even existed.
The cost wasn't a significant burden considering the level of convenience, which made the experience even more satisfying.
It is a service I definitely want to use again if I travel to Tokyo in the future! I highly recommend it, especially for family trips with parents or for anyone who wants to make the most of their trip right up to the last day. 😊
